Former conservative media host Christina Bobb is part of former President Donald Trump‘s team of legal representatives who may have sought to conceal and remove classified government documents stored in a hidden room at Trump’s Florida estate, according to court filings from the Justice Department.
Bobb, 36, worked for the right-wing One America News Network when she touted Trump’s 2020 election fraud claims and raised money for the 2021 audit of the Arizona election, a monthslong project last year that found no proof of fraud that would have changed the outcome of the election in the state two years ago. Now, Bobb is in the spotlight for the DOJ’s allegations that she “likely” submitted false testimony on June 3 claiming all materials stored at Trump’s estate had been handed over to authorities.
The former OANN host and attorney joined Trump’s political organization Save America in March and has been part of his legal counsel since.
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT RELEASES PHOTO OF TOP SECRET DOCS FOUND AT TRUMP’S MAR-A-LAGO
Officials at the DOJ published a 36-page filing Tuesday saying a search warrant at the West Palm Beach estate, Mar-a-Lago, was obtained after gathering evidence “that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation,” with the former president’s lawyers falsely claiming all sensitive records had been forfeited by the former president, adding that such records were “likely concealed and removed.”
The “custodian” of Trump’s records signed a sworn certification letter saying “any and all” records were handed over to the government on June 3, though the DOJ disagrees, citing evidence it gathered as part of the Aug. 8 FBI raid at Trump’s estate.
DOJ records do not specify whom the signee of the certification letter is, though multiple sources with knowledge about the investigation have suggested Bobb signed off, according to the New York Times.
A statement from Bobb attached to the DOJ’s Tuesday filing said that “based upon the information that has been provided to me,” there had been a “diligent” search and all documents responsive to the subpoena were being returned.

Following Bobb’s work at OANN, she began volunteer work with Trump’s legal team in November 2020. Bobb has also been tapped as one of six of the former president’s lawyers to be subpoenaed by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
The Washington Examiner contacted Bobb.
